When I was at the farmers on the weekend I came across some green tomatoes which was perfect as I had just seen a recipe for a fried green tomato parmesan on Christies Corner that I had wanted to try. I like fried green tomatoes and I like a nice eggplant parmesan and I really liked the sound of combining the two. How could you go wrong with crispy fried tangy green tomatoes smothered in a tasty tomato sauce and drowned in melted cheese? Luckily I had some frozen marinara sauce that I had made earlier so the fried green tomato parmesan was as easy as frying the tomatoes, covering them with the marinara sauce and cheese and baking it all until the cheese was nice and melted and golden brown. The tangy fried green tomatoes worked really well in the parmesan dish and I liked the texture that the corn meal crust added to the dish. I wonder what other things can be used in 'parmesan' dishes like this? I am going to have to do some experimenting.

Directions:
1. Season the tomato slices with salt and pepper.
2. Dredge the tomatoes slices in the flour, then dip them in the egg and finally dredge them in the corn meal and flour mixture.
3. Fry the tomato slices in the oil until golden brown on both sides, about 1-3 minutes per side.
4. Place the fried green tomato slices on the bottom of a baking pan.
5. Spread the marinara sauce on top of the fried green tomato slices.
6. Spread the cheese on top of the marinara sauce.
7. Bake in a preheated 350F oven until the cheese is golden brown, about 20-30 minutes.

This looks so delicious, and unique. I have never seen anything like this but if I love eggplant parmesan and chicken parmesan, why not Fried Green Tomato Parmesan?? I bet the texture of the crispy fried tomato is perfect with the creamy melted cheese!

I hate to confess it but I've never had fried green tomatoes - and with your Italian twist I now feel compelled to cook this! Not to mention how tasty this looks and I have some frozen marinara sauce waiting...

Hi! First time I come to your blog! Big surprise! Such creative recipes you're doing! I was looking for a green tea recipe, and I found your " Green Tea White Chocolate Mascarpone Brownies "! That seems to be so delicious so I took the recipe to taste it! I will come back to your blog! That's great! Mine is in french, If you wanna visit it!

Love the blog! As for what else goes well in "parmesan" form, I really like zucchini cooked that way, and I think sweet potato or butternut squash could also be interesting (the sweet-salty combo gets me every time).

I love this! First it mixes the dirty dirty and the Italian. And green tomatoes are really just like eggplants. The first time I fried up some fried green tomatoes, I was so compelled to Italianize it, with some parmesan and parsley in the batter. A friend joked to make this and it seems like such a good idea. Well you did it! Well done! Next, chicken fried steak alla parmagianna!

The Irondale Cafe aka The Whistle Stop Cafe from the movie Fried Green Tomatoes has been making Fried Green Tomato Parmesan for years & it is out of this world delicious!The cafe has been in business since 1928 in Irondale, AL.
